WORST experience EVER. I?m very embarrassed on how they treated me and my friends. They never had pupusas so I recommended them... to try it. These girls working were laughing & making fun of us. They blasted the music off a speaker they brought in. It waslike a Club where we were yelling to hear each other & kept asking each other to repeat what the other said. It gave us aheadache. Yo le pregunté a la muchacha si pudiera bajar la musica Porque no podía escuchar a los demas hablar. Me dijo que sípero se rieron y le subieron más. Even though I asked them to turn the music down just a little, they laughed & turned it upeven more. When we were leaving my friend told the girl in pink that we couldn?t hear each other talk over the music. She said,?It?s our restaurant. So you need to understand.? Then burst out laughing along with the other girls. Disappointed. First Pupusaexperience ruined. Read more

Not good. Carne asada plate was just taco meat with old rice. Nachos were tortilla chips with nacho cheese and jalapenos. We... ordered pastelitos and they were spoiled. Garlic shrimp had no garlic. Honestly we felt gross eating here. Never again. Read more

Ordered the pork papusa and the bean and cheese papusa, both came out piping hot having been made fresh. The cooks were singing... over the grill as food cooked, atmosphere was welcoming, friendly, familial. Food was absolutely delicious, and worth the wait.Will definitely be back. Read more
